We've had a bit down here, just rain and foggy now

Just a heads up on this years Smallholders Show at Ardingly

It's July 7th and 8th (which clashes with Wiston unfortunately)

I'll get some entry forms ready for the Meet and Greet at Hassocks

Hope to see some of you there

Wheelbarrow body now done and some rubber matting cut to fit the floor for added protection

Handlebars also painted.

Just need the engine back from Dr Denness' engine clinic and it can all go back together

Nice haul Dave,  I like that sprayer !! 

A few more photos of progress...

Ah reet, the ridger

I've a stitcher just like that. Maybe that's what it's off. Was on the kitchen extension roof for a few years.

Please explain to the soft southerner what a stitcher is Norm

A few more photos from recent days in the workshop...

Tidy bit of kit Paul, you'll have to learn to walk like Andrew on the arena display, 

Oh you mean like I have had a slight accident...

Looking good. On the Flymo parts illustration there's a lever to trip the bin latch to allow it to tip. Is there any sign of one having being fitted to yours or was it a latter addition?

Yes there is, looks a bit Heath Robinson and as I intend to show the machine with the barrow on, the pins and r clips will be replaced by bolts and wingnuts to make it all a bit more sturdy

It will be going to Yorkshire Norm so perhaps we can fill it with tea !

Hope to see some of you there !

Paul and Wendy

Been having a trial fit of the barrow body and driving wheels..

.

New steering shroud fettled, painted and fitted to the Lawnbug, decal arrived from Titch at Machinery Decals today so that's finished it off...

Its in a section titled "Recycling Center" near the bottom of the home page

Neat little set

I have one similar that came from the USA thanks to a for sale advert on this very forum

Mine is decaled up as a Dyna-Mite 410...

Happy birthday Mr P, hope you have had a good day mate

OK no problem

I've got a brochure and an NIAE test report on a Motohak, can do copies if you want...

Westwood orange

I did wonder that mate, ta

Wristpin, the tools are a dark brown colour which would be the Flymo livery, do you know what colour they would be for Westwood  please ?

A good find there but I would think that the little Suffolk engine would be working quite  hard with that ridger (spelling??) body in Wealden clay, but perhaps it's destined for a more relaxed life? 

I agree, the engine would indeed struggle, this lot will be for show only methinks
